Pre punk to post punk
As a lover of Punk it was only a matter of time before I watched this and it felt like a compilation album with extended talking in between. Loosely based on Hilly Crystal the owner of CBGS's in New York and the place where punk was formed.

There are appearances from Television, Talking Heads, The Ramones, The Dead Boys and it shows that Blondies did have more fun. The story is nothing too taxing and it's weaved round the music. Some famous faces and a Harry Potter characters bare bum as he proves his natural hair colour out of the cameras beady eye.

So if you like Punk, bare bums and don't mind a young Sting then this could help your life in a small way

Does anyone else have an issue with sound on movies? It always seems like they can't mix it right or something. I watch most of my movies on my tv. When I watch shows they're fine. People talk, you can hear them, yadda yadda. When I watch movies and someone is talking I can barely hear them so I have to turn up the volume. Then when something happens(like suddenly) is so loud it almost blows my ear drums out. So I turn it back down- then I can't hear them talking... again. This happens a lot. It's like Hollywood can't get the soundtracks mixed right. I've been tested so I know it's not my hearing. Drives me nuts. Ok, rant over. Please tell me I'm not alone in this, friends. Smdh.

It is a nightmare, especially when the kids are sleeping, you have to watch a film with your fingers over the volume controls, constantly adjusting it.

I'll check my tv settings. I'm glad it's not just me though. Lol

An autobiography of epic proportions
For those who want to know about the horrors of the "War to end all wars" from the point of view from the Germans, this book is for you. The author Erich Maria Remarque had seen such a conflict, so he knows what he is talking about when it comes to the horrors of war.

Wow! This book was well worth waiting for. This was not as much a character driven plot as a situatonal and emotional driven plot, the characters were just the vehicles. There are some very interesting twists and Andrews really knows what she is talking about when she sets her plots in the deep south because it really is different down here.

So, i love a lot of animated shows. I really didn't think I'd like this, but it actually is funny and entertaining. The main characters are pinky( a talking sausage) and his friends and family. It's a really funny show with some adult humor that I don't think most kids will catch. All the characters are so weird, funny, and different.

One thing I can say for this: the author seemed to know what she was talking about with this be it the lingo or the action. In truth I was more into the action elements than the romance. And that is why it's only getting three star, because I'm a romance reader and it didn't hold my attention that much.
  

"I’m excited to announce that our first book of 2018 is Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge which talks about the history of racism in Britain, and ways we can see, acknowledge and challenge racism. I am not supposed to have favourites, however this was the most important book for me this year."

The Great Hack (2019)
The Great Hack (2019)
2019 | Documentary

"While talking docs, an important one to see is “The Great Hack,” which provides a frightening, thorough investigation with people you might not even know existed as to the extent any notion privacy is now an illusion, how we have been manipulated politically, and the myriad ways in which we are now vulnerable to the interests of anyone who has our data."

I think reading this before I read the second book in the <i>Hell or High Water</i> series wasn't the best idea as the characters were talking about things I had no idea about.

That being said I did like the IM messages between Mal and Cillian and that ending has definitely got me wanting to read a second book about them.
